Quiz night success for the SPA

The Stopfordian Parents’ Association (SPA) held a successful quiz night with 26 teams taking part and raising an amazing £1,600.

The Dining Hall was packed full of eager participants ready to test their general knowledge whilst tucking into succulent cheese platters and a well-stocked bar.

140 tickets were sold in advance and it was a tight competition with ‘The Lads’ closely outscoring ‘The Girls’ to win the quiz. A number of teams also won a ‘chocolate bonus’ which were awarded for clever answers to random questions.

Heather Cook, chair of the SPA, said: “Our takings have surpassed every quiz night so far – partly due to some canny cheese purchasing from Stockport Market and a special DHL delivery of wine straight from a Spanish Warehouse – and we are delighted with the amount raised. The £1,600 will go towards the purchase of musical instruments which will help pupils in all of the year groups.”
